By the way, Greg Ewing coined the term "context manager", combining my proposals of "resource manager" and "context listener": http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-July/054607.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-July/054628.html And from this email, it's clear that other people in the discussion interpreted this term to refer to "thing given to the 'with' statement": http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-July/054615.html However, you seemed to want to call this a "context", even then: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-July/054656.html So, if anything is clear from all this, it's that nothing has ever been particularly clear in all this. :) Or more precisely, I think everybody has been perfectly clear, we just haven't really gotten on the same page about which words mean what. ;) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
